Ha. I actually took the day yesterday and sat out side with my sketchbook and started plotting out issue #6 and tried to plug some major holes in the story. Hopefully I’ll start drawing pages soon! (believe me…… I want it finished as much as you do!)

I’ll eventually collect them as a trade, but I’m not sure when. Artistically, I’d like to finish the bigger story arc that I’m working on, but if it means getting The Possum into Diamond, I may be persuaded to do something earlier. Now that I have 5 issues done, it seems like an OK number, but I’d like to hold off a little bit.

I’m not really too sure how many issues I’d need. Basically the story arc involves Steve Tacola, and I could wrap it up in 2 or 3 issues, or I could keep it going for a bit. Originally I though issue 15 would be a good number of issues, but I’m thinking I’ll aim for issue 9 or 10…… I want to weave it in and out of the comics, kind of how Stan Lee used to do it with Spider-Man, so each issue will have it’s own story, but the soap opera bits will be sprinkled in each issue, until the soap opera bits become the main story. We’ll see what happens. (hopefully I’ll find a way to speed up my comic making, so each issue isn’t a year apart from the other. That way it won’t seem so long).
